A back and forth battle between Auburn and Texas A&M had the college football world tuned in for more than four hours after both teams refused to go down easily. The final play of the game, Aggies quarterback Marcel Reed threw a pass to his receiver that hit his hands, but was dropped to end the game and give Auburn a 43-41 win.

Now, the Bulldogs await the winner of the No. 15 Texas A&M versus No. 3 Texas at Kyle Field next weekend to decide who they will play in the SEC Championship.

The title game will be played Dec. 7 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Kickoff is at 4 p.m. on Channel 2.
